EDIT: of course this doesn't apply to streams or non-seekable files
In any case, awesome!
The only reason I downloaded it was for this feature. This dead simple feature which was available in 1976 (or whenever) when VHS came out. It should be in every digital player at version 1.0.
Very poor work. It's really spotty, and it shows up as a bar at the top of the window on seemingly random loads, about 10 percent of the time. Whatever video player VUZE uses works 100 percent of the time and doesn't stupidly ask you if you want to start at the last position. This seems like a feature that should take five minutes to implement and they managed to mess it up bad.

Just like to add my thanks to the vlc guys. I've been using it for 15 years and it's a true credit to the foss movement.
